What the hell does it mean "You are required to have health insurance" or be fined?

If I can't afford health insurance, how on earth do they expect me to pay their fines? "You are required to have health insurance. If you don't, you will pay a tax penalty of $695 per year up to a maximum of three times that amount ($2,085) per family or 2.5 percent of household income." My income covers my rent and not much else... What the hell am I supposed to do?
--------------------
You,me and millions of other people.Interesting the fine is in the form of a tax.Try fighting the IRS much less the government. Why wasn't this bill put up for a vote?Anything that effects us should be our choice in the democratic process. EDIT Stephen,the point is there should not be a fine for making a personal choice.That is what the people are saying.If Obama wants to pass a health care bill,that's fine but don't penalize people who can't afford it or use an agency that can seize your property and put us in prison.Of the people,by the people and for the people.Most can't afford the 2.5%,most can't pay their rent or feed their families and putting it off til 2014 won't make any difference.
